Mr. Stout. Before T enter into a gcncial examiiiation oi the piece signed Kegulus, in the last w cks Ccntincl, it appears necessary and proper that I should redeem my promise to enable mv fellow-citizen and the people al lari e, to judge whether that pap i id its pr -sent abettors, are or are not, total) v unWorthy of any reliance ; and 'whetht r its editors can merit au;;!it but the scorn 5c derision of a free and virtuous peoph v 1 adopt this course in order to simp ' , and place certain natters brought into the discussion, in a true and irremoveabic light that future trouble in legaid to them, may be avoided. To corrupt, and to divide, are the wick , cd expedients by which unworthy men qave in all ages and countries, attempted to govern such especially as have been least capable of exerting the true and lcfittmate powers of government. Under the auspices ofstich rulers every ambitious child of fortune can have sonic deairahle employment suspended over him, to be rcccived,if successful in his p itroUs business. In an elightcned community like ours, however, it is not every office holder or ofltceseeker, who can success fully attempt to divide ; to be sure indeed, when a man is gifted with tl at sort of left handed wisdom Called tunning be may attempt it ; but when o ice 1 :s cunning i; exposed he must end his labours in mortification and disappoint ttient This I cannot help predicting murt he the fate of the Centinel and tt$ editor, for the farce they are attempting to playoff should when exposed excite general abhorrence, I well remember Mr. Stout, your ju dicioua and correct remarks about the '"iic this Centinel press was first sent on here; and I have seen every sentem i of them substantiated by positive proof, or v lined by circumstances, long sir.ee. Amongst other things you stated that k when men in power will foment div ision and party spirit it must be with a had d gn, pure intentions and good purpo aes never can require such expedients." you again stated that " if men in office ivho thould t r the fteofite think only on tiie surest mode to feed their own aaricefic their own vanity, Sc seem on most occasions to forget the duty they owe to tin- country, they may if they please, to preserve power, send hireling presses amongst Us Uut let them beware our citizen:; will not thus be imposed upon with impunity the upright U well disposed must vien with indignation such iniquitous an.l sinister proceeding these are some of the remarks Regulua calls' mistepresentations, sugg sted bv a malignant, jealous and corrupt heart" Oh ! shame where is thy blush where shall I search for evidence to redeem the character of that correspondent ? shall 1 look for it in the Columns of the Centinel which denied the charge of ownership and subserviency to Jennings, at the time it was first itablished here as well as now ; or shall I recal to

mind the deposition of Mr. Hall wherein

the i entmel mtriertie is exc l h

man the faction had in the first instance

that it lir If nf-..- r r .

the period Mr.DiUworth remained in tno office, although the Columns of his -t paper denka the fact; I have good authority for asserting (bat this same Dr. McSamec arxercised authoriti in regard to that paper . hen Mr.Dillw rth'i itarao was use l,us well as n w, an l I should like to know if any rati ma) mind can belicc the repeated denials made in tflo paper, when 1 thus falsifv them upon the authority of the chief director of the press lvnliaA ft stffi ty if not, say so ; there u more yet in t!ic mean tunc Reulus will receive hit M calumny without foundation " back agaiO There are innumerable cases in common life, and many in arts and s s, wherein we most content ourselves with probability and rely upon presumptive authority for want of the means and opportunities of knowledge 4oxh however is not the situation in which 1 now pTace the C entirely establishment. .!- though I might hav safely re ted even Upon that ground, I do not trust tht n ttcr there any longer. I give tt.i ir own declarations let them deny them if t hew dare. The people can now see if such an editor and such a paper, should be re- 1 lied upon, or rece ive support Ale press is well understood to be a Si Lguard of the peoples liberty and rij.ts, and therefore it has been secured and protected by every possible means constitutional and legal. Wnat then sbouid be said of the governor of a state, in tiio situation ir.r Jennings has been with regard to this Centinel press? And whai should not be said of those who know all the circumstances, and yet unho;d it Let our citizens for one moment; n fl ct noon consequences. Mr. Jennings is in omce--right or wrong he wishes toco;:, tinue in Ids present or in some otiier; those who .zealously uphold hhn at thia time, have views distinct from the people; if a free press can be traduced with impunity or effect by them, it would argue a heedlessness in tl c people a& most unpardonable. Can any mar believe that it is to render b happy aOd prosperous to inform u of the am n ations and errors of our nilers, or oi av.y encroachment upon our constitution a d laws that may be made bv them to guard cur rights and support our independeacc and freedom, that govr J (.. nings would seed and keep a prt -s here ? or i knot to put down all who expose his offences to strengthen himself to KmpoS4 upon the people, an.l to act nd do as he pleases protected by this C- ptinel? Letevevj man bf indepenck m and reflection judgei A)i who have read the last W eks t atinel, cannot but remark, that thewriu s there, vainly imagine they can nats fbrtho advocates of the people yea, wiiha d -perati cause and some of them only ting personal emeldmcnt. thej - , r think they si ould be judged in the .i "t and that n ine tenths ol the people will just to please them, view tl em-- . s i ot only in f x wiong but a u ! , a f rUon ! 1" Sttange delusion !

Jennings Ten Dollars per week for editing the Centinel. and all attendant expenccs also I can prove that Dr. Mc.Namce has said thai vkts th.c agreement made with Mr Dillworth, cu n firove that after Mr. Dillworth had resigned the office on condition that Mr. Jennings should comply with that agreement he afterwards repossessed himself of it because Mr. Jennings left town without complying with his promise; and in the the absence of Mr. Dillworth the presei t editors made their way in, by some means. That matter however, was arranged when the governor returned to tow n, and a settlement was made betwixt the parties, at Mr, Barnetts Inn, But probably we must burv ali these things, and 'oo's: only to the uniform conduct and trntimrnts of Dr. McNamee ? well, I will for a moment, t lace the matter on tht ground I have I or in proof)

It tit good cttiaens of. this Quarter of the state will tacitly suffer tlic freedom of the Press to be tramph d under mot by a governor and his dependents; if they will suffer their ti . isle liberties and charartei to be set at fi. ance with impunity ti.ey will incur greater blame, and deserve in risequence, less pity than errh the enslai d and hood-winked people ol Eusi pe ; f r inasmuch as true liberty th:t is Uj rty guaranteed by our constitution a id laws in equal opposition to arbitrate wiil anl i entiousiu ss, has been n ore firmly secured in this than in any other country on the globe by so n.uch the more heavy would our just condemnation prove if w e permit cur pubtW servants to dictate to us, or a governor like the present one, to act as he pleases.
